[Peacetrain]

As the name calling is thrown at these representatives, remember these reps need our support.

As you stand with us, we stand with you, Rep. Lewis, and Rep. Frank! :patriot: :patriot:

[jonnyblitz]

5. K & R. nt

[Cha]

6. John Lewis and Barney Frank are inspirations to human kind..

Those standing with teabaggers really are racist bigots.

And the more they exhibit their ugly hate the more people will understand how cruelly pathetic these teabaggers are.

[watrwefitinfor]

7. Another post says that one of the scumbags spit on Rep Cleaver. n/t

[vaberella]

8. These people are not human. They're drones masquerading as jackasses. n/t

[KingFlorez]

13. They are regressing to nastiness of the civil rights movement

[Clio the Leo]

9. glad CNN is already picking this up. NT

[DevonRex]

10. I stand with them and you. POS teabaggers aren't even fit to be called human

and they DARE hurl slurs at these fine men?

[CTyankee]

11. Representatives Lewis and Frank, I stand with you!

Shame on the teabaggers! Shame, shame, shame!!!

The only good out of this is that these bigots are now being unmasked for what they truly are, and it's about time!

[Jennicut]

12. Disgusting. Teabaggers real agenda is to push down minorities and

those without power.

[Phx_Dem]

14. And Emanuel Cleaver (D-MD), who as spat upon.

The vile (and probably diseased) protestor was reportedly arrested by Capitol Hill police.

:patriot:

[KingFlorez]

15. Oh, but they aren't racist or homophobic, they are just concerned about the country

What a crock. This is nothing but a Ku Klux Klan revival.

[Gman2]

16. It's just beautiful. Their family values keep showing.

[Peacetrain]

17. Between this and that jerk throwing money at the man with Parkinson's...

I hope America is getting an eyeful of what the republican party, and tea party types are all about

[rucky]

18. John Lewis has faced down far worse than these chickenshits.

He's probably thinking "Is that all you got?"

[awoke_in_2003]

93. True...

but it is a shame that chickenshits like this still exist.

[LiberalLoner]

19. I stand with these good men, too. May God bless them and protect them and our President.

[Ken Burch]

20. I stand with Lewis, Cleaver and Frank.

They stand with the people. The hatebaggers don't.

[Jersey Devil]

21. John Lewis could chew these punks up and spit them out

My bet is that both Lewis and Frank and very happy that these idiots had exposed themselve for what they really are.

[saltpoint]

22. One tries to eschew violence. One might say that violence

breeds more violence and that a violent response to violence lowers one to the unacceptable level of the other.

Just the same, the people who called these two good men slang names deserve to have their goddamned bigoted asses kicked from here to Hong Kong.

I'll stand with others here who are standing for Mssrs. Lewis and Frank.

[nolabear]

23. Stand strong and pass that bill. We're with you.

[samurai7]

24. This is disgusting and really mindblowing that people will resort to this.

It's terrifying to me that all these people are so completely misguided and have so much hate for politicians who are actually trying to do good things for the American people. It seriously blows my mind.

[quiet.american]

25. They definitely have my support against those vile, vile Beckians. nt

[gateley]

26. I just want to give Cleaver a hug. I send them all my love and support. nt

[jenmito]

27. I support Lewis and Frank! All the way!

[Number23]

28. Kicked and Rec'd. I love both men. Neither of them deserve this

This straight, white Christian male stands firmly in support of Reps. Frank and Lewis, and against hate-filled, homophobic un-American bigots!

[existentialist]

Then again, if DU DIDN'T stand with them what on earth would we stand for?

[proReality]

43. K&R n/t

[grahamhgreen]

44. We stand with you even if you vote AGAINST the Baucus boondoggle!

He's my rep!

[Lifelong Protester]

45. I want to be counted as standing with Reps. Lewis and Frank

and I want to be as far away as I can from the so-called teabaggers. So called because that is just a lying cover-up POS name for racism and bigotry.

Shame on all of them.

[tishaLA]

46. They are both American heroes

[donheld]

47. Without hesitation

[HughMoran]

48. Hear! Hear!

[certainot]

49. picket their headquarters, your local limbaugh hannity radio stations

ignoring those radio stations has been like giving the KKK the biggest uncontested soapbox in the country and it has to stop.

teabaggers are dittoheads who finally came out of the racist closet.

they've been getting a free speech free ride- it made bush, iraq, banking deregulation possible and will obstruct climate action.

many of those stations do university sports broadcasting and at the same time broadcast global warming denial 24/7. those unis need to start looking for alternate radio. none of them should be associated with the limbaughs and hannitys and beck radio shows that have gone way past 'provocative political entertainment'.

[madmax]

50. K & R

[angee_is_mad]

51. the bastards spit

on Congressman Cleaver. Being a class act, when capital police arrested the SOB who did it, he refused to press charges. If it had been me, the SOB would have been trying to press charges on my black behind.

That is why I admire my elders in what they had to go through during the Civil Rights era. By them sucking up and taking all that abuse, has allowed me not to have take it.

[Lindsey]

52. I stand with these two men. n/t

[mfcorey1]

58. I take a stand for those who have to take abuse in order....

for millions to receive health care in the United States of America. God bless John Lewis and Barney Frank.

[SusanaMontana41]

59. The GOP I know

always has appealed to the worst in humankind. But this goes beyond the pale.

Does the leadership of the GOP want our leaders to get hurt? After the malicious, horrifying heckling of a Parkinson's patient, the hurling of racist and homophobic slurs at two congressmen, and the alleged criminal assault on a third — all within one week — the GOP should just put to rest the lie that "only a few" teabaggers are causing the problems. This mob cowed the Capitol police Saturday, for Pete's sake!

How long does this have to go on before a Republican stops it? What will it take? I shudder to think ...

*on edit: corrected date

[DFW]

60. I stand with both of them, and all others who stand up to right-wing filth

Just last night, I saw a soul-searching German film about a small group of women standing up to the Nazis
during the second world war. I thought of the few, gutsy members of Congress, who won't lie down and whimper
"please don't hurt me, Mr. GOP-man" every time Roger Ailes gives his minions more verbal ammunition.

[Hubert Flottz]

61. I'm confused...should we look back, or not?

When you don't put criminals in jail, where they can't hurt anyone, the severity of their crimes will only increase. The same goes for ALL criminals.

The Klan Lite will only be emboldened by getting away with the things they do. Same as the neoCONs. We are either a "Nation Of Laws"... or we're a nation of outlaws. We need a "Fair and Balanced" DOJ! We Need a "Fair and Balanced" SCOTUS. "Anything less, is uncivilized."

[lupinella]

62. Stand strong

Cruelty rears its head. Our thoughts are with you.:patriot:

[BumRushDaShow]

68. What a week for the teabaggers... and it's not over yet.

Shameful. Absolutely shameful.

Mocking an 11 year old boy bravely speaking about his Mother who died from lack of health care.

Taunting an elderly man with Parkinson's.

And now this shouting at elected Congressmen N****R!, and F****T!

True colors were shown today, and I think that many other people--even including some Republicans, Conservatives, etc. will be repulsed and horrified by these words and behavior.

Who in the GOP will step forward and denounce these actions?

[rosesaylavee]

69. Rep. Lewis and Frank... THANK YOU for all that you have sacrificed

for our country.

I am proud to stand in support of these men. :patriot:

[madmom]

[ensho]

74. I will protect their backs too

against the nasty, ignorant whites

[Riverman]

75. Always!

[gtar100]

76. Absolutely. Rep. Lewis and Rep. Frank have more integrity than the whole

cackling crowd of teabaggers combined. Shameful that America has to rise through this kind of muck but the teabaggers exemplify what is an undercurrent everywhere. If it can't be eradicated, then it needs to be boxed in and suppressed by the enforcement of laws that punish discrimination. What's so sad about this is that it shouldn't take a law, only common sense and the decency of mutual respect. But that sort of thing is far beyond any of these teabaggers. They are truly the fruit of the effort to dumb down America. If we are not careful, they will suppress the rest of us by brute force.

[PopSixSquish]

77. John Lewis is My Congressman and Barney Frank is One of My Heroes as Well!

I stand with both of them!!!!!

:grouphug:

[grahamhgreen]

80. Hey he's mine too! Nice to meet you neighbor!

I'm against the bill unless it contains a public option or Medicare expansion.

Although I would even settle for the ERISA exemption that would allow state single-payer.

You?

[PopSixSquish]

82. I Will Let the Honorable Mr. Lewis Speak for Me

"Madam Speaker, The time is always right to do what is right. And that time is now. The spirit of history is upon us. We must pass health care. There are those who have told us to wait. They have told us to be patient. We cannot wait, we cannot be patient.

The American people need health care, and they need it now. Will we stand with the American people? Or will we stand with the big insurance companies? We have a moral obligation to make health care a right and not a privilege. We cannot wait a moment longer. We must pass health care and we must pass it now."

3/16/2010 - on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives

March 18, 2010: House Energy & Commerce Analysis of Health Care Reform on GA's 5th District

This bill, while not perfect nor close to it, will help our many of our less fortunate neighbors in the Georgia 5th and the work will continue...

[grahamhgreen]

88. He is still fighting for the public option and note - he has not said conclusively he will vote

for the bill as it stands.

let's give him the public option for this outrage!

94. Don't let the bastards grind you down!

[NJmaverick]

95. The teabaggers made me ashamed of my nation

The teabaggers might as well just put on their white hoods and robes

[hippywife]

96. Standing with all of them today

who aren't afraid to cast their votes for everyone in this nation who needs healthcare. It's just a damn shame that it still involves the insurance industry.

These teabaggers have gone too far. What a bunch of stupid losers. Christians every one, no doubt. :eyes:
